I changed primary servers max_connections from 100 to 4 for just a
testing purpose. Now standby server won't start and complains:

hot standby is not possible because max_connections = 4 is a lower setting than on the master server (its value was
100)

My guess is this is because standby's pg_control file contains
previous primary setting (max_connections = 100). Is there any way to
start the standby server without re-creating pg_control (which implies
getting base backup again)? If not, there should be some way to allow
to start standby server without getting base backup...

Best regards,
